The Journey of the Genius Failed
8. Rouzen and Hervy's first meeting.

Four days later, after Rouzen and Heiren had stayed in Meiyan village, Rouzen would currently enter the academy.

In front of the academy.

"Are you ready?." Redes spoke to Rouzen.

"Hm." Rouzen nodded.

Rouzen then entered along with Redes.

Rouzen and Redes entered together because Rouzen at this moment would be a student of the academy, whereas Redes, he was one of the teachers in the academy.

By the time Rouzen and Redes entered, suddenly came a grown man who approached them.

"Senior, is this the man?." The man spoke to Redes, while pointing at Rouzen.

"Yes." Yeah." Redes.

Then the man spoke to Rouzen.

"Include my name is Jiss Zhuge, the homeroom teacher of Bubuka's class, and will also be your homeroom teacher." Zhuge with a smile.

"Oh yes. My name is Neland Rouzen. Please help."

The Bubuka Class was a class where all of its students were still unable to take out and control Tiser. This class is also the beginning of the decision of the students to choose the path, because after graduation, the students will be given 2 choices, namely, that is to become Aryan or become Nagaya (an ordinary person who continues his life by trading).

Rouzen and Zhuge then walked to the Bubuka class.

Upon arriving, Rouzen saw that in that class, the number of students was around 30.

Then Zhuge introduced Rouzen to the students in Bubuka's class..

"Hello students, this time we have a new friend. It was Neland Rouzen. I hope you guys get along with him." Zhuge pointed at Rouzen.

Rouzen then introduced himself.

"My name is Neland Rouzen. Please help."

After the introduction, Rouzen was seated on an empty bench. And the bench was in the back.

At the time of sitting, Rouzen was accosted by one of the disciples.

"Hello, let's introduce my name is Peer Hervy. Nice to meet you." Hervy with a friendly smile.

"Yes, nice to meet you too." Rouzen smiled.

After that, teacher Zhuge finally began his studies.

At the time of the lesson, Rouzen took the materials Zhuge gave seriously, while Hervy, instead, hid his face behind his book, and fell asleep. Until a while later, Hervy's behavior was known to Zhuge.

“Hei Hervy, if you want to sleep, you sleep at home only do not here.” Zhuge while gently hitting Hervy on the head with a book.

So Hervy finally woke up.

“Hmm.” Hervy who is still newly awake (not yet 100 percent conscious)

“...” Zhuge just looked at him.

“Teacher?... Uh teacher, sorry I'm sleepy.” Hervy surprised.

“You are yes. How many times have you slept in class? aren't you ashamed of the new student? you should set a good example. Now you're standing outside” Zhuge scolding Hervy.

Zhuge said that because Hervy had slept in class several times.

Then Hervy looked at Rouzen.

“Cih. How is he different from the others?.” Hervy while staring stepped out of the classroom..

Seeing that, Rouzen was confused and curious about what had happened to Hervy.

After Hervy left the class, some of the students in the class talked about it.

“Hah... that fool has no capoks.” “I don't understand his way of thinking.”

Then Zhuge stopped their conversation.

“Have stopped. Let's continue the lesson.”

Classes restarted without Hervy.

A few minutes later, the class finally ended.

“For today until here only. You can go home now.” Zhuge spoke to the student in the classroom.

“Hore! Finally home too.” Students who are happy when they come home

Then Zhuge continued..

“But for Rouzen don't go home first ya.” Zhuge looked at Rouzen.

“Good.” Rouzen.

After the students left the class, Zhuge explained his reasoning to Rouzen.

“Sorry yes you so come home late.”

“Iya is okay.”

“So like this. Because you are a new student, so there are some lessons that are missed. Therefore, I will give you the book that I have explained to the other students, so that you do not miss the lesson. Are you willing to learn it? of course you can read if there is free time.”

“Then, this.” Zhuge while giving away some books.

Rouzen then received the book.

“Thanks teacher.”

“Iya.”

After that, Zhuge continued his words.

“And sorry also yes about the attitude shown by Hervy. She likes to act like that.”

Hearing that, Rouzen was about to ask what really happened to him.

“It's okay. But why is he acting like that? especially when he said that I was no different from the others?.”

Then Zhuge explained.

“He was a person who was a little slow in learning things, so he was called a fool by his friends. But what makes him say that to you, maybe you will be the same as those who call themselves fools. And he also has no friends, so he does whatever he wants, because he thinks if he does something, nobody cares also to him.”

Hearing that Rouzen was a little pity.

“So yes. Why doesn't he have friends? was he being friendly with me?.”

“Maybe because he is a fool and naughty person, so that the disciples no one wants to be with him.”

“What is it?.”

“Entahlah. But he is also actually an orphan, so maybe other students do not want to be friends with him for fear of being used by him.”

“Continue how is his life? where is he staying?.”

“She lives in an orphanage.”

“So yes. But instead of overdoing it huh, if the other disciples treated him like that?.”

“Actually I thought so too. But I can't do much, because only they can handle it. Even I have also tried to make some students in the class into a group with Hervy, but in the end they even quarreled.”

“So yes. I understand.”

Then Zhuge allowed Rouzen to go home.

“Yes because the business is done, you can go home now.”

“Good. Thank you guru.”

Rouzen leaves the classroom and goes home to Redes.

On the way, he saw Hervy sitting alone.

“Hey, what are you doing?.” Rouzen greeted Hervy.

After hearing that, Hervy turned around and looked at the person who called out to him..

“Murid new?.” Hervy's confused.

“My name is Rouzen, so just call me Rouzen.”

“Alright, but why are you here?.”

“I was walking home, but then I saw you, so I decided to greet you first.”

Hearing that, Hervy was a little astonished.

“Why do you want to greet me?.”

“It's not strange huh, if a friend greets his friend?.”

“Friends? I have no friends.” Hervy spoke without seeing Rouzen's face.

“Do you really not want to have friends?.”

“...” Hervy was silent.

Rouzen then explained.

“I heard about you from teacher Zhuge earlier.”

“Terus?.”

“I'm the same as you, I'm an orphan too. Even I am not a native of this village.”

“...” Hervy was silent.

“So if you don't mind, I'm willing to be your friend.” Rouzen smiled.

“Even though I'm stupid?.”

“What's really why? we are still students, so it is only natural that we still do not know anything.”

Hearing that, Hervy became touched by his heart. But he soon forgot that feeling.

“Cih, I don't need friends. You must also have been ordered by Master Zhuge, right? I already know.” Hervy as he stepped foot leaving Rouzen.

Hearing that, Rouzen could only look down and was a little sad that he also had no friends.
